Item details

Inspired by a painting of pansies grown at the Muttart Conservatory grounds in 2010 that reminds me of the beautiful Lakme by Delibes, this yarn is made of pure PEI wool, hand dyed and spun in my Edmonton studio.

Dyed using professional acid dyes, heat set, rinsed and ready to use. Dyes are colour-fast, light-fast and wash-fast. This wool was processed by MacAusland mill in a woolen preparation, using coarse fibres, and therefore this yarn is best suited to making things such as slippers, mittens, household accessories: things that won't be next to the neck or face.

Ball-winding is a complimentary service with all Ilex yarns, but must be requested at time of purchase. If you would like your yarn wound, please leave a note, and I'll be happy to wind a user-friendly ball.

Shipping is flat-rate on items in my shop, meaning after you pay the initial shipping charge, any additional items added to your order ship along with it for free. Stock up and save!
